Our Veterans Report on FIDM Los Angeles:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. According to the VA, there are 30 GI Bill® students at FIDM Los Angeles. Since the total enrollment at the school is 1,319, around 2.3% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment). It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger.
